Bare butt

[saggitt]

Year old hen. Always messy butt. One other hen in coup. Today I bathed the dirty butt. Huge bald spot beneath the mess. No sore no wounds. Not much sign of feathers at all. Is this just from being dirty? Will feathers regrow? Thought she was ugly w dirty butt,now really ugly!

Will feathers regrow?

Next time she molts, yes.
Even sooner, maybe.
